[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

After studying for a while, Bobby said that everything was ready, so Jane took Owen and Darlene to the kitchen to make dumplings, and Mrs. Gardner followed to watch.

Bobby rolled out a piece of green dough, and Owen and Darlene held a cup each, and "porphyr" made round dough.Jane mixed the dumpling stuffing, put a little on each dough with a small spoon.Mrs. Gardner looked interesting, and according to Jane's instructions, she folded the dough in half and sealed the edges with a fork.Hurley came back early, so she was holding Bernard in her arms and watching.

Bobby rolled out another sheet of white dough, and Owen and Darlene did the same thing after rolling it out. The extra dough was rolled into a ball, and they were used to roll out the dough for Bobby.

After a while, the table was covered with white and green flat dumplings, which are best fried in a pan because one side is flat.

After the dough was reconciled, Jane taught Bobby to make a kind of dumpling with white inside and green outside, and rolled them one by one into dumpling wrappers with white in the middle and green outside. Cabbage-like, very cute and good-looking.Mrs. Gardner and the children also learned to wrap, which was really interesting, but their wrapping was not as good-looking as Jane's wrapping.

The Gardners seldom made something to eat by themselves, and ended up making a lot of dumplings, and then watched the process of Bobby frying dumplings and Jane steaming dumplings.It doesn't matter if there is no steamer, Jane uses a soup pot, puts a wooden bowl upside down in it, puts a plate on the wooden bowl, and steams like that.This kind of steamed dumplings is vertical and looks like cabbage. Mrs. Gardner likes this kind of dumplings. Although Owen and Darlene like to look at this kind of dumplings, they still prefer fried dumplings fried in butter.

When Mr. Gardner came back in the evening, he, like Owen and Darlene, liked looking at dumplings that looked like dumplings, but he preferred fried ones. Mrs. Gardner said that they were indeed three.

A week later, Mr. Gardner fired Mrs. Pitt, and Mrs. Pitt was shocked and unconvinced.In fact, no matter how busy Mr. Gardner is, it is related to his children. He didn't know and couldn't think of it before, how could he be indifferent after hearing what Mrs. Gardner said?

This week, Mr. Gardner sent someone to find out this Mrs. Pitt. It turned out that she was not a nanny in some baron's house, but a nanny in an orphanage.

Because the steward of the orphanage embezzled donations, the disease broke out later, and a group of nuns who were in league with the steward were fired, and Mrs. Pitt was one of them... In fact, she is not Mrs. Pete, but she just assumed her name, just for get a job.

"So you have two choices, first, leave here by yourself, and second, the police will take you away." Mr. Gardner said coldly.

Mrs. Pitt didn't want to be taken away by the police, so she left angrily.

Mrs. Gardner was terrified, "Oh my God, she is such a nanny. If Jane hadn't reminded me... I can't believe that I let her take care of Berner for so long." She now doubts that Bernard and her body have been It's so bad, maybe it's because of Mrs. Pitt.

It seems to make sense. If you change to a professional nanny, the result may really be different.

But it doesn't matter anymore, because of Mrs. Pete's relationship, Mrs. Gardner is also suspicious of other nannies now, and she now trusts Jane more than the hired nannies.

"Let's make pork knuckle and chickpea soup tomorrow," Jane said.

"I don't want beans!" protested Darlene, who was changing her teeth and didn't like hard ones.

"What is a trotter?" Owen had never heard of it.

"It's a pork knuckle," said Mr. Gardner.

"Well... yes." Jane thought for a while, it's better not to challenge the acceptance of the people of London, the British who can eat sheep's stomach may not be able to accept pig's trotters... Besides, there are probably no pig's trotters in the market.

"Hmm..." The Gardners began to think about making soup with chickpeas and pork knuckle... What would that taste like? ╮(╯▽╰)╭?

"Well, I think I've gained weight since Jane came," said Mrs. Gardner with a sigh.

"I seem to have gained weight too." Mr. Gardner touched his face -________-, he was embarrassed to say that his clothes were a little tight recently.

"Jane, Jane, can you stay longer?" Owen was not as shy as before after getting acquainted.

Before Jane could speak, Mr. Gardner said first, "She can stay longer, but you have to go to school, Owen, I have already found a good school."

It’s not that Mr. Gardner didn’t want Owen to go to school, but as a businessman, he can only go to day schools or church schools at most. Neither of these are good choices, so this matter has been delayed. .

But now, Mr. Gardner thought, since the factory opened, his network has expanded again, no, he finally got a letter of introduction from Havers Private School.

This is a boarding school, and I heard that the proportion of graduates entering the University of London is very high.It is of course important to be able to go to university, but it is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I heard that many noble children are also studying here. If Owen enrolls, it will be very beneficial for him to expand his network in the future.

Hearing Mr. Gardner eloquently introduce the glorious history of this school, Owen's face collapsed.

"Jane, Jane, I don't want to go to that school." Owen secretly found Jane and said.

To be honest, Jane also thinks that Owen's shy personality is not very suitable for going to boarding school, especially Mr. Gardner is just a businessman. If he meets a cruel classmate, he will be bullied life?

However, the Gardner family does not have enough money and status to hire a dedicated tutor. Judging from Mr. Gardner's current development, it is most appropriate for Owen to start building his own network now, so Mr. Gardner asked Owen also took great pains to attend this school.

Seeing that there was no way to go, the school was scheduled, and Owen was so miserable that he ate a whole big pork knuckle alone, which shocked Mrs. Gardner, for fear that he would have indigestion.

When Mr. Gardner said that he had found a school, he actually meant that everything was ready. A few days later, Owen was taken away by Mr. Gardner crying and never came back... (No!)

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Jane has been in London for almost a month. She has become more and more skilled in managing the Gardiner's house, and Mrs. Gardner's health has gradually improved, and the Gardner's house has gradually returned to its previous life. Level, even if they didn't say it, the Gardners were very grateful to Jane.

Now Jane has time to go shopping... Yes, there are people. This is the case for women in this era. Young girls cannot go out alone. They must be accompanied by female companions, such as mothers, sisters, tutors, and maids. ...So when Jian Jian went out, he had to go with Hurley.

Jane, who is carrying a "huge sum of money", finally embarks on a shopping trip in London.This year corduroy is popular in London, and Jane bought two whole corduroys, one dark green and one amaranth, suitable for making clothes for Mr. Bennet or Mrs. Bennet.

Jane still remembered the instructions of her sisters, but none of them were very old, and she bought small things or half-finished products, such as rolls of lace and lace, small rings, glass gems but very beautiful earrings, Silk threads not in Meryton, some cheap but pretty beads, painted wooden bracelets, etc., the most expensive thing is a few books.

In the past few years, printed matter has become much cheaper than before, but Jane can't help but buy a lot, such as natural science, novels, music scores, watercolor picture books... If it wasn't because she couldn't afford it, Jane actually wanted to buy a whole set of "Encyclopedia Britannica" .

This level of spending seems a bit stingy, but Mrs. Gardner appreciates it very much. High-end products are not suitable for buying gifts for a few girls living in the countryside, and Jane is just right.

Jane helped a lot, and of course Mrs. Gardner would not be stingy. She prepared a generous gift, but she didn't intend to let Jane know it now, and she would only take it out when Jane returned.

Even so, when Mrs. Gardiner was well enough to go for a walk, she took Jane to the streets several times, and each time bought Jane some small presents, such as earrings with very small stones and real gemstones, a silk handkerchief. And so on, they are all in the range that Jane can accept but can't refuse.Mrs. Gardner handled it well, and Jane accumulated some good things.

Mrs. Gardner also took Jane to Gardner's store twice, to be precise, the store next door.

The shop next door to Gardner's house is a custom-made women's clothing store. Mrs. Gardner has a good relationship with the owner, and the scraps of the high-end fabrics she gave to Jane were obtained from there.

"Oh, is this the Miss Bennet you mentioned?" The gay shopkeeper, a tailor, circled Jane with his orchid fingers, "The little girl is pretty, but unfortunately..." He pointed to the side A small room said, "That's where I put the rags, you can pick and choose for yourself."

Jane: "Okay~" What a strange guy, a London specialty?

Behind Jane, Mrs. Gardner rolled her eyes at the tailor. She stretched out her hand and pushed Jane, and said, "Go Jane, pick some by the way." It seemed that the two were quite familiar.

Needless to say, this tailor is quite generous.

The small room was a mess, with all kinds of rags piled up on the table. Jane found a lot of high-grade fabrics inside, but most of them were fragmentary and there were not many large pieces of cloth.Jane didn't care, she searched and found a lot of good things, and while searching, she was still thinking about what to do with these fabrics.

Various kinds of silk, satin, wool and leather, ah, happy, this material is quite big, and the color is also good.

This one can be used as a headband, this one can be used as a button, this organza is very stiff, and it is also very good for making artificial flowers.

Jane picked up a large bag, and finally tied the materials with a rope made of several pieces of cloth.

Mrs. Gardner: "..." ∑(°△°|||)

Male tailor: "..." (.﹏.)

The author has something to say: Jane: I’m sorry (●'?'●)?
